38 – Enduring Advice Level 999 (2)

38 – Enduring Advice Level 999 (2)

Here’s the English translation of the Korean novel excerpt:

The person who taught her was Cheon Do-hee, so she doesn’t know the game well either.

In fact, Apola was a very famous insect-raising champion.

Newbies often choose her because the character is pretty.

When newbies pick her, 10 out of 10 times they mess up badly,

And unfortunately, the rank tier that mainly gets these newbies is Bronze, which has the highest percentage of users, so she gained a bad reputation.

That’s how Apola got her other nickname, “Tteopbae-chung” (tower-destroying bug).

However, this phenomenon didn’t change much even in higher tiers.

Even in Naore’s Korean league, NaChamps, she’s had a proud 0% pick rate for 2 years straight.

There are champions that are superior versions of Apola, and many champions that counter her well, so pros ignore her. In high tiers that follow their meta, people ask why anyone would use such a trash champion.

Of course, there are still some people who play Apola as a concept.

Anyone with a siege class character thinks about ignoring whether their team wins or loses, just destroying towers and the enemy base, and somehow ending the game with a backdoor.

If you look, there are quite a few people who make content out of crazy broadcasts like “Running to the enemy base with Apola”.

And what if this Apola is played by a double Tteopbae madman who could match pros in the Battle Colosseum?

Then the story changes.

This is how an unexpectedly large crowd gathers.

We have a guest today

🔫🔫

– Leaves will rot @suckleaf

Two guns? Double Tteopbae? Jikwon D?

– Leaf mustache tea @sooyeomcha282

Holy shit, are you a genius?

– Donggurimarimari @korokoro002

The Great Hwang D

Of course, she did give a preview using Z before the broadcast started.

But even so, it was an unexpected number.

Isn’t this a number you’d barely see when all four members gather, and only at peak times?

However, the viewer increase trend didn’t stop there.

— No way ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

— Why is the tier like that ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

— ??

— Is this really an isekai transfer story?

— Ahㅋㅋㅋiㅋㅋronㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

— I really didn’t expect this ㅋㅋㅋ

To think that Jikwon D, who showed off her impressive shooting skills even in Mugeon’s internal match, would be…

Iron.

It’s a TPS, and the genre is AOS so it’s different, and if you don’t know the characters at all, it’s certainly possible.

But still, Iron?

Not even Bronze.

— Wow, suddenly feeling a deep internal connection with Jikwon D

— You too?

— The chat is too chaotic, shouldn’t we ban the Ataks?

— Bug bastards should send donations without comments, for real

— What about Bronze?

— Honestly, everything up to Plat should be buried

— Why are there so many mouth Challengers

— Everyone below Eme where the Great Mari is, get out

Well, Iron is the bottom 10% of all ranked users, right?

The 90% of users above that can’t help but come to check it out of curiosity.

So people watching other members’ streams at the same time.

Those who were waiting early because of the preview posted on Z quickly filled the numbers.

Then Naore floaters who only go where there are many viewers gradually gathered.

As they spread the news to the Naore gallery, bringing even more people…

[(🔴Live) I who beat even Battle Call pros, am I a Tteopbae-chung in another world?] 👪13,400

The viewer count just before the game started was a whopping 13,000.

And this was still during the communication broadcast.

Of course, befitting the national game with the highest population, the state of the chat was predictable without even looking.

Komari’s chat was always the most chaotic among the 1st gen, but today was even worse.

— When does it start When does it start When does it start When does it start When does it start When does it start When does it start When does it start When does it start

— Ppajijik ppajijik ppujijik ppujijik ppajijik ppujijik ppajikppuungppangppong

— Start soooooooooooooooon

— When does it start 1st When does it start 2nd When does it start 3rd When does it start 4th When does it start 5th When does it start 6th

— Start the rank gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

— We wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill

— Let’s go heoit-jja Let’s go heoit-jja Let’s go heoit-jja

— Yo this Jikwon D is playing Naore, this very mysterious situation has attracted an enormous swarm of flies that you don’t often see

— Game start Game start Game start Game start Game start

— Attack Attack Attack Attack Attack

— Cyber Attack

— Jikwon D’s favorite random game Random game Game start! Double Tteopbae Double Tteopbae Double Tteopbae Double Tteopbae Double Tteopbae Double Tteopbae Aha aha

As expected of the world’s #1 game in market share.

The number of trolls is on another level too.

I could almost hear the managers screaming.

Picking out true bans in this flood of spam is like finding poop among grains of sand.

“Everyone. Spamming is free, but please, I beg you, read the chat rules before chatting.”

But while there are banned words, there’s no rule against spamming in our kids’ broadcasts.

And spam usually happens a lot during content preparation.

It usually calms down on its own when we finish the communication broadcast and move to the game search screen.

— Did all the Naore trolls in the neighborhood really gather here

— Was the chat here always like this? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

— Mari, what kind of battle have you been fighting all this time…

While I was waiting on the game search screen, Komari took the mic and started explaining the main content.

“Today’s content is, drumroll please, holding back on backseat gaming.”

— That seems like something the Na-teachers should do ㅋㅋ

— For real ㅋㅋ

— You’re not telling us to hold back, right?

“I’m not telling the Leaves to hold back. I’ll be holding back. On backseat gaming.”

— Oh

— Aha

— I think I get it now

People watching Komari’s broadcast for the first time today still don’t seem to understand.

There are over 100 non-overlapping clips of Komari going berserk during ranked games.

In other words, regular viewers know.

How hard it is for Komari, a proud Emerald tier below Diamond, to hold back her nagging while watching the games of Irons, the lowest rank in Night of Legend, called bugs rather than humans.

:: Anonymous donor has donated 1,000 Clouds! ::

:: But are you just holding back? That seems boring ::

“Of course there’s more to it.”

Komari played a video she had prepared.

It was the teaser video for “Rubber Duck House” that she had received earlier when Majiya explained the game.

“I’ve decided to play this game for an hour every time I can’t hold back and say something.”

The viewers needed a moment to understand the current situation.

So, every time she backseat games, she has to play this boring thing for an hour?

And the person who has to hold back on backseat gaming is Komari, who’s so proud of her skills that she turns into a demon spewing all kinds of harsh words whenever she plays ranked?

:: Anonymous donor has donated 1,000 Clouds! ::

:: You’re screwed, looks like you’ll end up watching those damn rubber ducks for 24 hours ;;

— Aargh

— This won’t work

— You’re joking, right?

— Come on ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You’re not really going to do it, right? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“It’s true. I made a promise with Wondi unnie.”

“Yes, we promised. Here, I brought a table bell.”

Ding——.

The small bell often used to call waiters or play board games like Halli Galli rang clearly.

“I’ll ring the bell right away if I feel it’s backseat gaming.”

— That seems too subjective

— Wait, then can’t Jikwon D just ring it whenever she wants? ㅋㅋㅋ

— Can’t Komari just not say a single word?

— Mari, keep your mouth shut

— Yeah, just keep your lips sealed tight.

But as the viewers pointed out, if Komari doesn’t say anything at all, the atmosphere will get boring.

Of course, we discussed and added a few rules with Komari.

“Also, backseat gaming that comes in through donations will count as me backseat gaming.”

— ?

— Um

— No, that’s

— Don’t hold back! Don’t hold back!!

“Why are you surprised? Leaves, you’re one with me, right?”

— That’s forced

— Woo can’t agree woo

— Sigh, this is why you can’t trust elves

— Who decided to connect our nerves like thaaaaat

Of course, we expected there would be pushback, so there’s one more rule.

We slightly modified the method usually used when the backseat gaming concentration in Komari’s room is higher than usual.

“As always, donations over 10,000 won won’t count as backseat gaming. And just for today, every time the accumulated Clouds exceed 100,000 won, we’ll subtract 1 hour of Rubber Duck House playtime. So use it wisely.”

In other words, if Komari can’t hold back on backseat gaming, the Leaves should take joint responsibility with 100,000 won.

— ?

— Komari’s gone crazy for money

— Money Mari, it’s you again?

— Who the hell taught her how to collect money ㅋㅋㅋ

:: Anonymous donor has donated 1,000 Clouds! ::

:: I knew it from when I threw 100,000 won backseat gaming punches at the Na-teachers ::

— Now the kid thinks backseat gaming is moneeeeey

— Oh my, we’re going to go broke today

“Why are you making it so difficult? Just hold back.”

— How can you hold back watching Iron ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

— Especially when it’s Jikwon D ;

:: Anonymous donor has donated 1,000 Clouds! ::

:: A Battle Call Diamond can give backseat gaming to a Naore player, how are we supposed to hold back on this, Money Mari… ::

“If you’re upset, load up your Clouds. You usually give backseat gaming with 10,000 Clouds, 100,000 Clouds even when I ban backseat gaming under 10,000 Clouds. What, did you run out of money today? Is that it?”

— Urgh

— It’s the end of the month, we don’t have money!!!

— If it was just 5 days later, I would’ve slapped Mari’s cheeks with money

— Wait, I’m asking the manager for an advance right now

Everyone’s crying out, but they’ll probably follow the rules well once the game actually starts.

I plan to raise the minimum donation to 5,000 won,

And while people might not mind 1,000 or 2,000 won, not many want to get banned for backseat gaming with 5,000 won.

It’s better to pay 10,000 won and save your life than donate 5,000 won and get banned.

And as the person who just donated said, how could anyone hold back on an opportunity like this?

You can legally give backseat gaming to Jikwon D, a game expert.

For just 10,000 won.

:: Anonymous donor has donated 10,000 Clouds! ::

:: Ah, Jikwon D, that’s not how you play ranked, how about I teach you a bit? ::

As if knowing this well, a viewer initiated the first backseat gaming.

And that became the signal, as the Na-teachers who had been holding back started popping up one by one.

:: Anonymous donor has donated 10,000 Clouds! ::

:: But why did you choose Apola? Because of Double Tteopbae? ::

:: Anonymous donor has donated 10,000 Clouds! ::

:: First, let’s put away Apola and play another character, personally I recommend Gwon-il ::

:: Anonymous donor has donated 10,000 Clouds! :: Instead of siege, starting with support might be a good idea too. ㅇㅇ ::

Jingle jingle jingle.

The flow is smooth.

Now Komari and the viewers are on the same side.

Rubber Duck House?

Even Komari, a dopamine addict, doesn’t want this kind of game.

Having to watch ducks fall for an hour.

In that time, you could play an average of three Naore ranked games.

But she has a disease where she can’t hold back on backseat gaming people who play terribly…

And so began Majiya’s first Iron ranked game.

Fortunately for Komari and the Leaves, Majiya’s early game play was surprisingly decent and smooth.

— Hmm, she’s laning well enough?

— What, she’s actually good

— The trading is clean too

— And she’s barely missing any demolitions…

That is, until level 5.

Level 6. Has anyone here experienced Majiya’s playstyle that changes the moment she puts a point in her adaptive skill?

No one, including Komari.

– Level up! –

Learned [Adaptive Skill III – Fallen Angel’s Dark Cloud]!

As soon as the adaptive skill was loaded, Majiya rushed forward.

— ?

— What

— Where are you going

Ignoring the enemy laner, Apola ran forward and poof.

She formed a dark cloud zone about the size of a parking space in front of the enemy turret.

“No, shi- un…”

Komari almost said something before covering her mouth.

It was essentially a suicidal move.

Although the dark cloud’s width looked large, there were too many skills in Naore with a wider range.

Coincidentally, Majiya’s opponent was Lightning.

Her basic attacks, while narrow, are AoE.

Chain Lightning, a combat skill that hits a long rectangular area.

And Electromagnetic Wave, an ultimate that deals massive damage in a wide spherical area.

Unless they were literally closing their eyes while throwing skills, it would be strange not to hit someone hiding in the dark cloud.

— Why did she use 3

— Newbie issue ;

— Wow, I really want to backseat ga- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

— How do you hold back on this? ㅋㅋ

:: Anonymous donor has donated 10,000 Clouds! ::

:: For Apola, you should use Adaptive Skill 1 or 2, 3 is really really garbage, you should never use it ::

However, contrary to their worries.

— ?

— Huh?

Clang, clang!

Clang, clang!

— Eh?

— What’s going on

Unexpectedly, the demolition stacks were piling up steadily.

She was playing in and out of the smokescreen, and her technique of slipping out of the smoke, using the opponent’s blind spots, just before they cast a skill was so clever.

If the opponent was high tier it might be different, but they’re the same Iron rank.

As a result, they only noticed Apola after hearing the stacking sound – even though it’s TPS, not FPS, so the opponent’s field of view is wide.

This happened a few times.

After a series of smokescreen vision play highlight reels, as soon as the smoke dissipated – parking!

With the sound announcing 10 stacks, Apola immediately entered an invincible state.

The enemy Lightning startled and moved away from the tower.

To avoid the damage that occurs in the area when it explodes.

Apola’s angel wings growing dark and huge.

The light from her brilliantly shining halo traveled along two gun barrels, pew.

————Kaboooom!!

First Destroy!

{{Backscars are Tteopbae’s shame >> Outer Tower (Bottom)}}

Everyone was surprised to see the tower explode with a thunderous roar.

— Um……

— Uh…

— Hmm……

— Why is she good?

— No, this is my first time seeing something like this

— What’s going on, does this work because it’s Iron? ㅋㅋ

It’s not that no one in higher tiers had tried similar strategies.

However, the enemies there had much higher skill shot accuracy than the people Majiya was facing now.

Naturally, the perception that the dark cloud skill was garbage was formed, and it followed the course of being abandoned.

It had been neglected for so long that even in Komari’s room, filled with numerous Na-teachers, they found this approach very interesting.

The same was true for Komari, who was in Emerald tier.

“I’m not sure what exactly happened. But it’s good. If she just escapes well into the alley from here, it’s a huge gain…”

But a moment later, Apola turned around and walked straight towards Lightning, saying:

[All] Backscars are Tteopbae’s shame: Kill me

[All] Backscars are Tteopbae’s shame: You want to die honorably

— ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

— ???

— What are you doing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Only then did Komari notice that Jia’s health was dangerously low.

But she could have easily escaped. It was too early to give up on life.

In the end, Komari couldn’t hold back and blurted out:

“No, unnie. You could have easily escaped…”

Ding——.

Majiya rang the backseat gaming bell and said:

“I wanted to go home. I already earned gold by destroying the tower anyway. It’s easier than struggling to escape and dying.”

“Urrrrrgh.”

— Damn it ㅋㅋㅋ

— Special ability: Dies to return home

— As expected, a Tteopbae user’s way of going home is different ㅋㅋ

Komari was grinding her teeth, and everyone was dumbfounded, but.

Still, the game atmosphere was quite cheerful.

[Team] Dog that barks at crazy people: (Thumbs up emote)

[Team] Let’s go to Bronze: Oh what’s up with top

[Team] Let’s go to Bronze: Nice

The teammates were actually impressed by Majiya’s quick demolition.

Even those who didn’t do the demolition get a certain amount of gold.

But the problem was what happened next.

It happened after she revived.

—?

—Huh? Suddenly joining here?

Majiya, who seemed to be facing off against the enemy in her lane for a while, rushed to the mid lane as soon as her Adaptive Skill cooldown returned.

Everyone wondered if she was going to support another lane and get a kill, but she hadn’t even taken Adaptive Skill I and switched to a specialization for duels.

So everyone watched Majiya with half worry and half expectation, wondering what she was trying to do.

But what do you know.

{{Scar on the back is the shame of a sailor >> Outer Tower (Mid)}}

She cast Dark Cloud again. She was destroying the mid tower at the same tempo as before.
